The object of my invention iste provide a' device by which a tonic 4or other'iiquid can be continuously applied to the scalp ot' a person`s head .and the'proper friction in.ii n tained'during the application. This is ei'- l'ccled by the use olA an elastic eeutaniugbulb A, which isnlixed with relation to the brush and adapted todischarge therctln'ough. As al.- presenlillustmted the bulb Ais lixoil upon the back ol' thc handle :I ol' liu-'brush and 'is adapted to contain the liquid or substance which is to lilapplied rlhruurgh tin handle ol' rho brush and opening into thi bulb arc a sorivsol'snuill passages C2. ln lint` with thvse passages aroa serios ot" brushtveth l, which have corresponding passages vrunning.r lengthwise through thcin, as at 5,

All tht' santo time the liquid contained within the bnlbean be toreo-d out through the passages in tho teeth in a-n \'dtsirwl quantity and the r'nbliing'of tht-.teeth applied simul- Laucously7 sons 1.o tho`rou;;hl dist ributt: the liquid and apply '.ln: proper friction to the salp. The t1 [iper part ofthe bulb is preferably made solid,ras at.
